U.S. President Donald Trump thinks there's a better use for Alcatraz than its current role as one of San Francisco's top tourist attractions: He wants to return the island in San Francisco Bay to its original role as a maximum security prison.

The President said he wants to restore the legendary island prison, which was closed decades ago and converted into a tourist attraction, to push back against “radicalized judges.”

The facility on Alcatraz Island has been a tourist attraction under the National Parks Service for longer than it operated as a federal prison.
